Gary Lampkin asked:

Democrat Party is the grammatically correct term for the Democratic Party. The Party is not "democratic," and proper nouns like "Democrat" are not converted into adjectives by adding "ic" as a suffix. For example, it is not the "Republicanic Party," or the "Libertarianic Party," Were glad you came to the light, David, but shouldn't proper grammar be applied in this situation?

Kristen Snow-White The suffix, "ic" means "pertaining too." I think (think) Democratic is used here because it works (?.

However, Gary, your explanation is far better and makes perfect sense. Thank you, grammar IS important!
Rachel Shallenberger The official name is Democratic (even if that is not a fitting name)! Google it. :)
